Hello
Is there a way to check the file type with a conditional tag set within a tool?
For example, if the tool can accept several file types but I have to make cheetah shut off some stuff for a couple of them?
You can do conditional code in the cheetah template using $input.ext or $input.extension which both give you the Galaxy file type of an input file parameter called $input. For example, look at tools/fastx_toolkit/fastx_clipper.xml which does: #if $input.ext == "fastqsanger": -Q 33 #end if Alternatively, if you want to do this in the script being called by Galaxy, just pass $input.ext as part of the command line.
